Just so we're clear about what you're talking about... How did you do this "Generate Managed Class" thing? What was the tool you used and the command line you used to launch it? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

This is how i got there: Install the WMI Extensions Open Visual Studio New Project Go to Server Explorer / Management Classes Right Click -> Add Class Drill down to root\CIMV2 : Printers Click Add and OK Right click on the new node -> Generate Managed Class -- modified at 21:39 Friday 27th January, 2006

First, toss the "Generated" garbage in the trash. Do it by hand so you can understand what's going on and have greater control over it. It also makes asking and answering questions a whole lot easier.

Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT \* FROM Win32\_Printer")
Dim prn As ManagementObject
For Each prn In searcher.Get()
    Console.WriteLine("Printer Name = " & prn("Name").ToString())
Next share
